Hardeep Singh Kohli enters the marvellous and mystifying world of the circus in this episode of his Sunday Lunch show. He's joined by a French foot juggler, an Australian flying trapeze artist, an Argentinean weapon thrower and ring mistress Yasmin Smart. Yasmin's circus family pedigree could hardly be more prestigious; her grandfather was Billy Smart Sr, founder of the legendary Billy Smart's Circus which became a household name in the 1970's and 80's when it was televised attracting audiences in record-breaking numbers. Now aged sixty, Yasmin is the last Smart still performing in the ring. As Hardeep attempts his own juggling act, with an overzealous barbeque to man and intriguing lunch guests to interview, he hears about lives spent in this extraordinary world.
